1. General Definitions

Unless the subject or the context otherwise requires, in this working procedure.

a) “Act” means Telecommunications Act, 2053 (1997)

b) “Authority” or “NTA” means Nepal Telecommunications Authority

c) “Authorized officer” means Deputy Director (Numbering and Standardization) of the Authority.

d) “CPEs” means the Customer Premises Equipment

e) “EIRP” means effective isotropic radiated power, which is the amount of power that a

theoretical isotropic antenna (which evenly distributes power in all directions) would emit to

produce the peak power density observed in the direction of maximum antenna gain.

f) “EMC” means Electromagnetic Compatibility which is the capability of electrical and electronic

systems, equipment, and devices to operate in their intended electromagnetic environment within

a defined margin of safety, and at design levels or performance, without suffering or causing

unacceptable degradation as a result of electromagnetic interference.

g) “Equipment” means specified Customer premises Radio Telecommunications Equipment

h) “GoN” means the Government of Nepal

i) “Local Representative” means authorized local representative/agent of manufacturer

j) “MOIC” means Ministry of Information and Communication of Nepal

k) “OEM” means Original Equipment Manufacturer, which refers to the company that originally

manufactured the product. OEM, manufactures product or components that are purchased by

another company and retailed under that purchasing company's brand name.

l) “QoS” means Quality of Service, which is the main indicator of the performance of a telecom

network and of the degree to which the network conforms to the stipulated norms and standards

specified by the regulator or any other agency designated for the same. The subscriber’s

perception of the Quality of Service (QoS) is determined by a number of performance factors.

m) “RF” means Radio frequency, which is a rate of oscillation in the range of

about 3 kHz to 300 GHz, which corresponds to the frequency of radio waves, and the alternating

currents which carry radio signals.

n) “Safety” means the state of being "safe"

o) “SAR” means Specific Absorption Rate, which is a measure of the rate of absorption of

electromagnetic energy in body during exposure. A SAR value is a measure of the maximum

energy absorbed by a unit of mass of exposed tissue of a person using a mobile phone, over a

given time or more simply the power absorbed per unit mass. SAR values are usually expressed

in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg) in either 1g or 10g of tissue.

after sales services and any other significant issues (deemed appropriate by the Authorized Officer),

the Type Approval certificate may be withdrawn or cancelled at any time within the 6 months or 5-

year period. The withdrawal or cancellation of a Type Approval may not affect the right to use the
